A new rule I run at our company... you have to earn the right to get your AI subscription paid for. You don’t get it free out the gate.
Show me what it produced first, ROI it drove, how much time it saved. Then I'll cover the bill.
Free AI creates zero incentive to get good at it.
I don't know who else to tell this to, so I am going to tell my story here.
Every day is a struggle for a young business, but the last few months have been harder than usual.
We are a small Indian company. For more than ten years we have been building a homegrown brand in a product category dominated by big foreign players.
There are almost no Indian names in this space. We set out to be one.
We started in 2014. Over the years we began making parts in India instead of just importing, and we started selling in the US, Dubai, Nepal, Malaysia and South Africa.
We showed up at global trade fairs to represent an Indian brand on the world stage.
In 2023 we changed the import code we use for our product. We did not do this quietly. Every shipment was declared. Nothing was hidden. We didn't invent our approach.
We followed written professional advice and the way this product is treated in markets around the world.
And now we are facing a government demand running into tens of crores in duty recovery and penalties, plus personal penalties on the founders and even on an employee.
For a company our size, this is not a fine we can pay and move on from. This ends us.
We have not run from any of this. I am not built like that. It is not how I was raised. We have written to the authorities, met officials in person, and we have now filed a writ in the High Court.
All we are asking for is a fair treatment.
I set out to build in India and sell to the world. I am asking only that the system back honest founders trying to compete globally, instead of breaking them.
The process is the process, and it exists for a reason. But process should not feel like punishment.
From where I am standing today, it does.
I am not giving up. I have worked too hard for this. If you have read this far, please share it. If you know someone who can help, point them my way. Help me get the word out.
I recently travelled with @BookAirportCab and the experience was wonderful. My original wrong booking was changed without fuss to the airport drop I wanted. Call handler was resourceful. Vehicle was clean and free of rattles. Will download the App and use services again.
प बंगाल की त्रिवेणी तट पर कल्याणी नामक गांव मे एक विष्णू मंदिर हुआ करता था। वहां हर साल कुंभ मेला भी लगता था! फिर उत्तर से सुकर मानो का आक्रमण हुआ, और आज इसकी हालत यह है!
विडियो को ��्यादा से ज्यादा शेयर करें ताकि ज्ञानवापी जैसा इस मंदिर को भी न्याय मिल सके
Your neighbour, Myanmar was also run by a Nobel Laureate who is now in jail and Myanmar is back to military rule. Afghanistan was ruled by a Fulbright scholar who ran a corrupt administration & abandoned the country when the Taliban took over. We are better off with a tea seller.
@YashMor5 Exactly sir . As aptly mentioned by Lt Gen PR Shankar , agniveer scheme is an “accountant’s ambush” and will create an “kindergarten army” by 2034 . Lets just hope the effects are not severe on the national security.

So you get this utterly bizarre situation where the world speeds up and gets more and more efficient, and we have all this technology for saving time, but it doesn’t make time feel more abundant. It makes us feel more impatient, which, on the face of it, should not be the case.” – @oliverburkeman
